Have you tried installing the old ones to see if the problem goes away?
Perhaps because there stock and you have after market bulbs the igniter s may not be compatible with the bulbs.

^^^That wont be an issue as i have aftermarket HiDs in my ATR. Are you sure the bulbs are home correctly. Sounds silly, but i've changed mine and know JUST HOW HARD they are to do.
If all else fails you'll have to either get some 6K MAX bulbs or replace the Ballasts for the lights, The ballasts are under the headlight so it's a bumper off job. Only takes a min to do though.

HID use loads of power, on start up, so if they struggling to get going it will defo be power source issue. Maybe its the 10000k requires more power on start up.
You could get a relay harness for them, this means power come from the battery rather than through the stanadrd wiring. I did this on mine stopped the flicker issue i had.
Simon- where all you sig and avatars gone?
